Analysts’ Viewpoint
Increase in awareness about health and the environment, rise in vegetarian and vegan population, and surge in religious population that strictly follows halal and kosher are driving the demand for halal and kosher empty capsules. High-quality halal capsules are gaining traction in Europe and Middle East & Africa, as these capsules are fully compliant with faith.
Increase in geriatric population and rise in adoption of vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements are expected to propel the global halal and kosher empty capsules business during the forecast period. Vendors in the industry are obtaining certifications such as vegan, vegetarian, halal and kosher, organic, non-dairy, and non-GMO to broaden their customer base.
Halal and kosher capsules are certified by halal and kosher regulations. Kosher refers to food that is suitable for consumption in accordance with Kashrut, a Jewish dietary rule. Halal is an Islamic phrase that implies permissible or permitted. In compliance with Islamic Law, gelatin is obtained from the bones of cattle that have been collected as per halal.
Empty capsules are utilized to package medicines that are used for the treatment of various diseases. Halal and kosher capsules are primarily composed of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and distilled water. Additionally, these capsules are made with non-GMO sources and are gluten free.

Halal empty capsules are increasingly used in packaging of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products due to the surge in awareness regarding halal and kosher products among Islamic and Jewish population, respectively. Apart from the substantial Muslim population that displays strong loyalty to halal certification, halal nutraceuticals hold a wider market attraction among non-Muslim users, who attribute such products to ethical consumerism and more rigorous quality control standards.
Halal can also establish itself as a standard of acceptable quality and compliance for non-Muslims when trading business with Muslims. Furthermore, rise in awareness regarding health and the environment for the consumption of animal meat is likely to fuel market expansion during the forecast period.
Increase in incidence of various diseases is anticipated to boost the halal and kosher empty capsules business in the next few years. According to a study published in The Lancet in January 2022, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) was directly responsible for an estimated 1.27 million deaths worldwide and associated with approximately 4.95 million deaths in 2019.
Surge in geriatric population has resulted in an increase in the risk of heart-related issues. Thus, rise in demand for therapeutically effective medications is projected to boost market statistics in the next few years. Increase in adoption of advanced treatment enhances life expectancy and tends to result in growth in geriatric population.

Capsule formulation is a preferable alternative for patients who cannot swallow pills. It is also ideal for products that need protection from the acidic environment of the stomach. Demand for vitamins, minerals, and supplements is expected to surge, as consumers are increasingly focusing on health and wellness. Physicians are also recommending vitamins, minerals, and supplements as preventive care for disease management in adults who have difficulty swallowing. This, in turn, is likely to drive the demand for halal and kosher empty capsules during the forecast period.
Capsules are biodegradable, easily available, and possess high absorption rates. Several clinical trials are being conducted with regard to the encapsulation of new and existing drugs. Ingredients can be encapsulated through an automation process and do not require manual load to be re-arranged. High prevalence of chronic diseases is prompting comprehensive R&D activities in the pharmaceuticals sector. This is expected to propel the industry statistics during the forecast period.
According to the latest halal and kosher empty capsules market trends, the gelatin capsules type segment is anticipated to hold major share of the business during the forecast period. Gelatin capsules act as superior carriers that possess capabilities to encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs and provide protection from degradation. These capsules offer better absorption rates and can act as an efficient solubilizing matrix.
Gelatin-based IR, ER, and DR formulations perform better than conventional formulations, thus leading to better patient compliance and improved efficacy. Gelatin capsules exhibit high sustained release of various drugs, owing to their high adsorption capacity, followed by high dispersion ability in the water. These benefits are driving the acceptance of gelatin-based halal and kosher empty capsules.
Europe is expected to dominate the global halal and kosher empty capsules sector. Growth of the market can be ascribed to the expansion in the halal packaging market, high presence of key vendors, and early adoption of newer technologies in the region. Increase in demand for halal and kosher empty capsules in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals industries is driving market expansion in Europe. The business in North America is driven by the presence of global pharmaceutical players and growth in the halal nutraceuticals and vaccines market in the region.
The market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Expansion in the halal products market, rise in healthcare expenditure, high prevalence of various diseases, and increase in geriatric population are augmenting the market landscape in the region.
The global halal and kosher empty capsules industry is highly fragmented, with the presence of high number of key players. Most firms hold major share in their respective regions.
